This Hammerhead Shark Alebrije is a striking fusion of Oaxacan folk art and oceanic power — hand-carved, hand-painted, and wholly unique.
Crafted from copal wood by skilled artisans in the renowned village of San Martín Tilcajete, each piece is brought to life with vibrant, meticulously painted patterns using natural pigments. The distinct form of the hammerhead — bold, otherworldly, and symbolic — lends itself perfectly to the surreal, imaginative world of alebrijes.
In the spiritual language of Mexican folk art, the hammerhead represents vision, adaptability, and instinct — a creature that sees what others miss. Reimagined as an alebrije, it becomes a protector and a symbol of sharp intuition and transformation.
Each sculpture is signed by the artist, and no two are ever alike. This is not a reproduction — it is an original, collectible work of art, rooted in Indigenous heritage and crafted with reverence and precision.
